Where is 282? Anston? Accident was two months ago

If it was an accident involving a fatality then it can be VOR for months at a time,i remember GNE's 5292 being VOR for a few months whilst the accident was investigated,that had involved a fatality

The post above says that its the same thing that happened to 11289 and that caught fire...

Interesting that the dart is going in for a repaint, thought they would be going soon.

26282 is in new colours at Stockton according to busestime.

Don't place too much faith in BusTimes - sad to say, there's a troll on there who seems to like nothing more than to post false "edits" for vehicles, which then have to be spotted by, and more edits submitted by, more knowledgeable people.

Latest E200 of the home fleet shopped is 36967, found today on the 10/11 circuit despite not tracking

Corrected, again. Presumably the same person who changed it's livery status before.

I feel that bus times need a proof of photo to show that a vehicle has been repainted.

If you know their user ID number, its worth reporting them to bustimes for abusing edits. If others did the same, then they'll likely act.

I believe that two of the folks who provide data for Stagecoach West - and who are actually linked to S/C W, so have full access to the genuine data - have already done so.

The erroneous edits appear to include not just liveries but also vehicle status - allocations, whether withdrawn, etc.

Think front end looks better than the other pointer darts that have been done elsewhere. Can anyone confirm if 37302 has been through the paint shop? Was seen up at Sunderland over the pits few weeks ago

Many thanks

Latest Scania E300 Gas into service following repaint is 28017, found on it's second day in traffic on the awkward route 20. Deptford offering the only clear shot for the service this afternoon.

Hi, Could you advise which still need to be repainted, as I must have missed some along the way?
 
Many Thanks

I am surprised with all the ALX300s and MAN E200s which have been withdrawn that they could not have salvaged some LED destination displays and fitted them during repaint at very little cost.

I like how they kept the old boards, bit retro like how a few have been kept about probably out of tightness to replace it but still nice to see

Especially since the rear display doesn't even work! Depending on what's happening with the ex-Yorkshire Darts could always swap with one of them.

Everyone's favourite Dart, 34611 found in perfect light this morning

27166 is back after repaint,
27162 is now at the Wheatsheaf. having had some new lower panels fitted it will be in the prep bay by tomorrow.

Interesting 22348 is the only ALX300 to be repainted,did they paint that one then say 'no point doing the rest'

Are the E300 05 reg going to new colours then the ones at Stockton.

It be see them in the new colours like alx 300 and Dennis dart one.

Think the hope of capital expenditure got in the way, now that dead, no reason not to paint some more. Focus does seem to be mostly on the vehicles nominated for Newcastle and the spurious CAZ

Are Stagecoach buses from Teesside swapping with Tyne & Wear buses? Does that mean Slatyford and South Shields/Sunderland buses will have white displays?
